Dental surgeons removed the teeth, which were located inside a growth in the boy’s mouth. He was identified as Ravindran, of Chennai state, and had been experiencing pain since he was 3 years old, the report said.
The footage of the doctors performing the operation shows hundreds of tooth fragments that range in size laid out in a circular pattern.
Doctors said that the boy had a compound composite odontoma in his mouth, and it was about 1.1 inches by 2 inches in size.
The benign tumor is generally slow-growing. The cause is not yet known, said the report.
In a similar case from 2014, more than 200 teeth were removed from the mouth a teen in Mumbai, Reuters noted.
